If you could travel back in time to sit ringside at

Yes but you only get ONE choice & you pick a fight that not only exists on film but only lasts ONE round ?

You can do better than that :good

 

It would have to be a fight that we haven't on film...
So I must pick two fights...
1- Stanley Ketchel / Phil jack O'Brien 1909...In the last round the lighter Ketchel was behind until the last round Ketchel caught O'Brien with a powerful right hand that lifted O'Brien off the floor and deposited him completely OUT with O'Brien's head in the resin box...Oh to see what a PRIME Ketcel looked like !
2- The Harry Greb / Mickey Walker fight at MSG,1925...In this great fight Greb who was a few pounds overweight, creaky and past his peak had to make the 160 pounds by drying out and running around Central Park TWICE in severe July heat. His only liquid was orange punch, but he came in at 158 pounds and still gave a prime toughie Mickey Walker a severe drubbing...One year later my idol was dead from an operation...
P.S. I would even give up my Lady GaGa autograph to see these two bouts.

 

Even though it would be wiser to pick a fight that theres no footage of like a Greb fight or one of Ray Robinson's fights with Gavilan for example my choice is what for me is the greatest fight of all time the first Marco Antonio Barrera-Erik Morales fight, would have lobed to be there ringside watching those two warriors waging war for 12 rounds.

 

My choices
Jeffries vs Sharkey at Coney Island NY - how great was Jeffries?
Dempsey Tunney 2 - ringside with 120000 screaming fans at Soldier Field.
Corbett Fitzsimmons

 

Would have loved to see Foreman-Lyle fight. I can't imagine how pumped that crowd was at the arena. Would have been a great atmosphere!

 

Johnson vs Langford...

 

Srr vs graziano

 

THE FIGHT...Ali vs Frazier I, hands down

 

I agree...do better than that!

 

Oh, Eder Jofre vs Vicente Saldivar...

 

Tyson vs Douglas and bet everything I own on Douglas and make a ton of money...

 

Sullivan Kilrain... Sullivan's last good showing.

 

1959

Pan Am Games Trials

Amos Johnson vs Cassius Clay

 

Oscar/Mosley


and from the past, Greb/Tunney II to see if Greb really did get screwed.

 

It was a good fight (I assume you meant the 1st fight as it was the best of the 2 + they were at their peaks in the 1st) but it wasn`t even the best in that YEAR, Morales-Barrera 1 was also in 2000.

What about a prime Pep ? Robinson ? Greb ?

This would be a one-off chance, don`t be wasting it on DLH-Mosely.
